I'm just glad that we're finally getting the Isshin flashback that we were promised almost two years ago. I think it's great that some loose ends will be tied and questions will finally be answered. But more importantly, I think we can expect to see Aizen-sama again since he seems to have a connection to everything that happens in this story, and we know that he knew about Ichigo's heritage. Maybe we'll finally get to see what his bankai was.

It could have been an extremely powerful hollow that injured Isshin we will probably find out what happened next chapter. Ikumi seems kind of fishy too I wonder what's up with her how could she see the Subsitute Shinigami Badge but not see Isshin?

Didn't Ichigo state that after losing his powers anyone could see the badge?

Then again, if his powers are back, then the invisibility should be back up....

Frankly, Masaki being a Quincy was so obvious I'm not going to touch it. I'm more interested in what Isshin's last name originally was - 99.9% chance it's Shiba, as everyone guessed long ago, but I would lose it if it actually ended up being something like "Aizen."

At least that would be less predictable XD

Yeah I think it's safe to say that Isshin is from the Shiba family, which would explain why Ichigo was often mistaken for Kaien. But frankly, I'm not too concerned with that. I'm more concerned with the way the story is going; at this point I fully expect Ichigo to undergo Quincy training instead of Shinigami training.

Kubo does not know how to ****ing write. -_- Or draw. ****ing stupid *** chapter.

Oh stop your whining no one is forcing you to read Bleach if you don't like it stop reading it. Anyway, yeah like everyone else said it's pretty obvious that Isshin is related to Kukaku and Ganju Kubo even hinted at it before this arc even started.

In my opinion, Bleach is starting to feel more like fanfiction, and I don't mean fanfiction in general (there are actually a lot of pretty good ones), I mean, and I quote:

It just shows that Bleach was never really going to be a very deep plot driven story to begin with. Especially if the backstory of the central character of the series only becomes important in the very last moments, it should be pretty clear that he was, more or less, good enough as an empty shell for the most part..

Sounds so uneventful. It just goes to show that nothing really happens between big battles but training, except for the beginning of the manga and possibly the beginning of the Fullbring arc.

Most of us expected Isshin Shiba after Kukaku referenced "that uncle." But I didn't expect Rangiku and Hitsugaya to be his Vice Captain and 3rd seat I was hoping that he'd be a captain of the original Gotei 13 or the Royal Guard.
